Well if this is the case, is it worth rebuilding or a new engine, its a rb 25 in my gts4 i have no idea is why i ask? Probably a good thing its just come out of a shop that hiflowed the injectors and did the nistune board, so I'm really shouldn't have to pay for it i reckon!

engine failure will have bugger all to do with getting a tune and injectors. it's just bad timing, so you will be stuck with the bill unless you can actually prove they caused the failure, which i highly doubt you will be able to.

is your rb25 turbo or natro? if natro, why did you bother highflowing the injectors? that is a major waste of money on a natro unless you have extensive headwork done and are putting out power close to that of a standard turbo motor. if it was because the car was leaning out then the fuel pump was the issue, not the injectors and your engine was probably already stuffed before the tune due to that.

Turbo was already hi-flowed earlier, and its just a fun car been working on over the years, but the shop its just came said there going to pay for the damage so pretty lucky there i guess. Was looking at being pretty happy around 280kw till this happened,not to sure what to do now.

if they are going to pay for the rebuild then i don't think they'll want to fork out for an expensive rebuild, so i wouldn't be suprised if they simply source a new motor. if they do rebuild it then it will be a stock rebuild, but you may be able to negotiate with them to pay the difference and use better parts.

Pretty lucky to get them to offer the rebuild, can't imagine that happens often

Edit: Mad's got a point though, they're probably not going to be putting their hearts and souls into the rebuild

say it is only one cylinder that has lost compression its worth fixing right, the place it came from is in adelaide and now the car is at a place up the gold coast so its not the same ppl, im not going to name names cause the guys in adelaide did some really good work, i'm still not even sure what has happened yet wont find out till tuesday at the earliest, but yeah prettty lucky overall!

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
